Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin the preparation for the Sacrament of Matrimony, be assured of our prayers and support.  We ask that you read carefully through the St. Helen's Marriage Guidelines. These guidelines are designed to assist in the planning of your marriage at St. Helen's parish.

Gentle Reminders:

1. Make sure you give yourself a minimum of 6 month for the marriage preparation process (from the first meeting with the priest or deacon to the marriage date).
2. Registration Requirement: The couple (at least one of the pair) must be either living inside St. Helen’s Parish Boundaries or ACTIVE and REGISTERED at St. Helen’s parish. A person is also considered registered if he/she still has a parent who is a registered member of St. Helen.
3. Non-Register Member: St. Helen’s Catholic Church is a very beautiful and traditional church; we receive many requests for weddings. Our clergy personnel is limited and we must ask couples who are not parishioners to make arrangements with their home parish priest or deacon to work with them in the preparation and celebration of their marriage at St. Helen’s Catholic Church.
